Description

IBM Cloud Functions is a versatile functions-as-a-service (FaaS) platform built upon Apache OpenWhisk, designed for creating efficient, lightweight code that runs on demand with scalability. This platform provides full access to the Apache OpenWhisk ecosystem, encouraging contributions from developers around the world. With IBM Cloud Functions, developers can create applications that respond to events through sequences of actions. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates cognitive analysis into application workflows, enhancing the capabilities of the applications being developed. As you advance in your use of OpenWhisk components or tackle larger workloads, only then does the cost increase, making it a cost-effective solution for evolving needs. Overall, IBM Cloud Functions stands out as an essential tool for developers seeking to leverage event-driven programming in their applications.

Description

NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF) is a serverless API tailored for deploying and managing AI tasks on GPUs, ensuring security, scalability, and dependable performance. It accommodates various access methods, including HTTP polling, HTTP streaming, and gRPC protocols, for interacting with workloads. Primarily, Cloud Functions is optimized for brief, preemptable tasks such as inferencing and model fine-tuning. Users can choose between two types of functions: "Container" and "Helm Chart," enabling them to customize functions according to their specific needs. Since workloads are transient and preemptable, it is crucial for users to save their progress diligently. Additionally, models, containers, helm charts, and other essential resources are stored and retrieved from the NGC Private Registry. To begin utilizing NVCF, users can refer to the quickstart guide for functions, which outlines a comprehensive workflow for establishing and launching a container-based function utilizing the fastapi_echo_sample container. This resource not only highlights the ease of setup but also encourages users to explore the full potential of NVIDIA’s serverless infrastructure.
